It’s hard to look at the half-shuttered bar and imagine a time when people would have enjoyed a drink there in the evening.

Despite the filth inside, the half-demolished feel and the trailing wires, there are still great views out across Leicester city centre to be had from the top of the hotel, which is up to eight storeys high, dwarfing most of the surrounding buildings.

The former hotel is not on the market currently, but NCP regional surveyor Tom Collins said the company would be open to offers from prospective tenants.
